Galatians:3:1 @
You foolish Galatians ,
who has bewitched you ,
before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified ?
nasb @
Galatians:3:2 @
This is the only thing I want to find out from you -
did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law ,
or by hearing with faith ?
nasb @
Galatians:3:3 @
Are you so foolish ?
Having begun by the Spirit ,
are you now being perfected by the flesh ?
nasb @
Galatians:3:4 @
Did you suffer so many things in vain --
if indeed it was in vain ?
nasb @
Galatians:3:5 @
So then ,
does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you ,
do it by the works of the Law ,
or by hearing with faith ?
nasb @
Galatians:3:6 @
Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD ,
AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS .
nasb @
Galatians:3:7 @
Therefore ,
be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham .
nasb @
Galatians:3:8 @
The Scripture ,
foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith ,
preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham ,
saying , "
ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU ."
nasb @
Galatians:3:9 @
So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham ,
the believer .
nasb @
Galatians:3:11 @
Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident ;
for , "
THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH ."
nasb @
Galatians:3:12 @
However ,
the Law is not of faith ;
on the contrary , "
HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM ."
nasb @
Galatians:3:13 @
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law ,
having become a curse for us--for it is written , "
CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE "--
nasb @
Galatians:3:14 @
in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles ,
so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith .
nasb @
Galatians:3:15 @
Brethren ,
I speak in terms of human relations -
even though it is only a man '
s covenant ,
yet when it has been ratified ,
no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it .
nasb @
Galatians:3:16 @
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed .
He does not say , "
And to seeds ,"
as referring to many ,
but rather to one , "
And to your seed ,"
that is ,
Christ .
nasb @
Galatians:3:17 @
What I am saying is this -
the Law ,
which came four hundred and thirty years later ,
does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God ,
so as to nullify the promise .
nasb @
Galatians:3:18 @
For if the inheritance is based on law ,
it is no longer based on a promise ;
but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise .
nasb @
Galatians:3:19 @
Why the Law then ?
It was added because of transgressions ,
having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator ,
until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made .
nasb @
Galatians:3:20 @
Now a mediator is not for one party only ;
whereas God is only one .
nasb @
Galatians:3:21 @
Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God ?
May it never be !
For if a law had been given which was able to impart life ,
then righteousness would indeed have been based on law .
nasb @
Galatians:3:22 @
But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin ,
so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe .
nasb @
Galatians:3:23 @
But before faith came ,
we were kept in custody under the law ,
being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed .
nasb @
Galatians:3:24 @
Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ ,
so that we may be justified by faith .
nasb @
Galatians:3:25 @
But now that faith has come ,
we are no longer under a tutor .
nasb @
Galatians:3:26 @
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus .
nasb @
Galatians:3:27 @
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ .
nasb @
Galatians:3:28 @
There is neither Jew nor Greek ,
there is neither slave nor free man ,
there is neither male nor female ;
for you are all one in Christ Jesus .
nasb @
Galatians:3:29 @
And if you belong to Christ ,
then you are Abraham '
s descendants ,
heirs according to promise .
